"WE'RE GOING BANANAS" BREAD

Steps:

• Grease and flour a bundt pan or 2 large loaf pans (8"X4"X3").
• Beat the sugar and eggs until creamy.
• Mix in the oil.
• Sift the dry ingredients togethr and add to the creamed mixture.
• Beat in the bananas (if they are very ripe) or mash them and mix in if the are on the less ripe side. (2 cups is approximately 4 small bananas).
• Mix in the raisins. (I like to soak the raisins for about 30 minutes in warm water then dredge in flour so they won't sink during baking).
• Pour this mixture into a bundt pan, and spread out evenly.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes or until done (test with a toothpick, if it comes out dry the cake is done).
• TURN OUT OF THE PAN WHEN THE CAKE IS COOL.
